Concept explainers

The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial g…

Transformation Experiment in Bacteria

In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.

Plasmids and Vectors

The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic mate…

Textbook Question

Chapter 10, Problem 3EQ

We seem to know more about the structure of eukaryotic chromosomal DNA than bacterial DNA. Discuss why you think this is so, and list several experimental procedures that have yielded important information concerning the compaction of eukaryotic chromatin.
